geography

The Sitka rises two and a half kilometers west of Ryžoviště in the Lower Jeseníky on the southern slope of the Stránský vrch ( 723  m ) in the wooded ground Horní mokřiny at about 690  m above sea level. NN from two source streams. Via Veveří, Huzová and Dolní Mlýn, it initially runs to the southwest. A narrow, deeply cut valley begins at Mutkov , which stretches in several loops over Horní Žleb and Dolní Žleb to Šternberk . The river then enters the Moravian plain and flows again towards the southwest via Lhota, Lužice , Stádlo, Moravská Huzová, Benátky and Březce. Below the village of Březce, the river is crossed by the railway line between Mohelnice and Olomouc . The lower section of the river runs east parallel to the Oskava past the Chomoutovské jezero quarry. At Chomoutov the Sitka finally empties after 35.63 km at approx. 215  m above sea level. NN into the Oskava, which flows 800 m below the March . The Sitka is the largest tributary of the Oskava.
